Silver Lining
<p>Silver Lining</p><p><br/></p><p>Gloomy and dark,</p><p>even the horizon is a block.</p><p>What looked like hope</p><p>isn't anymore.</p><p>An overwhelming weight rests on me.</p><p>Even the sky,</p><p>which was supposed to be the limit,</p><p>has nothing in it.</p><p><br/></p><p>What is the sky?</p><p>It has always been a tale of hope.</p><p>But now it's hard to see.</p><p>I stand under it anyway.</p><p><br/></p><p>My teacher told me</p><p>"every cloud has a silver lining."</p><p>But right now I stand in the rain,</p><p>and the rain is all I see.</p><p>No cloud. No edge. No light behind it.</p><p><br/></p><p>So I write her a letter:</p><p>You lied.</p><p>You sold me a sky</p><p>I was never going to see.</p><p>And here am I,</p><p>at the end of the line,</p><p>still waiting for the sun</p><p>to do something it never promised.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe she was right.</p><p>Maybe there is a lining.</p><p>Not in the cloud.</p><p>Not in the sky.</p><p>I never looked in me</p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p><br/></p><p>She wasn't wrong. She just pointed at the wrong place. She pointed up. I had to look in. Inside me.</p>
